Sun-Sweet

Sun-sweet
Sun-sweet,

I plucked your stem not for your taste,
but for the way you looked at me
when I strolled by on harvest day,
as you hung from flourished citric tree.

Sun-sweet
Sun-sweet,

I wouldn't dream of hurting you.
Why must one peel such wholesome love
to know if what they've picked taste true?

Sun-sweet
Sun-sweet,

The dawn approaches on swift wings
with morning's lively kiss in tow.
Such warmth is worthy of our praise.
Will you come with me to grace its glow?

Sun-sweet
Sun-sweet,

I'll lift you up towards open sky.
Please promise me that you will keep
the fragrance that you hold alive.

Let's bask in caramel rays of heat,
forevermore

Sun-sweet
Sun-sweet!
